Surveillance Footage In Shooting Of 12yo Boy Shows Officer Shot Immediately After Exiting Vehicle***
Informationliberation 2014-11-27Cleveland, Ohio – As we reported earlier this week, police in Cleveland shot and killed a 12-year-old boy who was playing with a toy gun in a local park.Without any hesitation, police shot young Tamir Rice because they
allegedly believed that he was pointing the gun at them, although the
person who dialed 9-1-1 told them twice that the gun was "probably
fake." After they killed him, police inspected the gun to discover that
it was an air soft pellet-gun, which is basically a toy.

Now, video surveillance footage of the encounter seems to contradict the
official story, but unfortunately, the footage is not as “clear” as the
police department suggested earlier this week.

According to the police, the boy reached for the gun, and disobeyed
orders to put his hands up and drop the toy.

Even if this was true, it
would not give the officer the right to fire on the young boy. [...]

When
a young child is walking around in a park with what appears to be a
gun, the probability is overwhelming that the “gun” is likely a toy. Any
reasonable person would take steps to examine the situation before
firing a real weapon at the child.

Police have a history of shooting
children with toy guns, so by now, officers should know to approach
these situations with extreme care and caution.

Regardless of this fact, the officer involved and the police department
protecting him has maintained that the officer felt that his life was in
danger because a “gun” was pointed at him, and therefore he was
justified in using his weapon.

- The mainstream media has been supportive
of this position as well, and has been deceptively reporting the
officer’s version of events as if they were facts, as is usually done in
cases of police brutality and police murder.[...]
